Dear Sammyjo I am so sorry you are suffering so much. The pain of losing one’s loved one is the worst thing that can happen to anybody. We spend years becoming one, growing together in a union which is the closest thing to heaven on earth. When we are broken apart, which is inevitable we are brought lower than we ever thought possible but I hope and pray that if we stay the course we will be reunited with are love in heaven.I hope you find some peace soon. I will keep you in my prayers
Wishing you all the strength you will need
Tom

I’m so sorry for your loss and the way you’re feeling just now. I lost my partner nine months ago and I’ve felt like that many times. To be honest many bereaved people have thought like that but wouldn’t admit it. Can I suggest that you contact your mental health team online or via your GP. You can phone the Samaritans anytime of the day or night. Could you reach out to your estranged children as being alone makes everything worse? Take care.
